Coach Tony DungyIndianapolis - Most of the time, we hear Colts Coach Tony Dungy talk about wins and losses. Tuesday morning, the coach talked about being a father.
Speaking at an Indianapolis Business Journal breakfast at the Convention Center Tuesday, Dungy told the crowd that he doesn't spend as much time with his kids as his dad did with him. Dungy talked about balancing coaching and fatherhood.
"Last night my son, a ninth grader, had a basketball game. So I left work, went to the game, came back and worked late into the evening. Those are things that are important to be able to do and fortunately, I'm the boss. I can do that," said Dungy.
"When I leave Indianapolis, I hope my players will say they got coached well, they got prepared well. And they learned something about life. And if they say - I'll really be happy - if they say that and the fact that we won three Super Bowls, that would be nice, too," he said.
Dungy created an organization called All-Pro Dad, which has a website that provides tips for fathers.
